From the Netc York World
! WASHINGTON, Dec. 14--Wade Hampton
has shaved off his whiskers, and with them
has gone his resemblance to Kaiser VIII
helm. His rosy face looks smaller and fat
ter and the only hair upon it is the little
| whiskS of frosted silver which shine out I'M
der his nose. You would hardly know him
for the same man, and his face loses much
of its character by the change
| Senator Hoar looks like Greeley, only bet
| ter dressed Cockrell, of Missouri, with
his long, struggling blonde beard his tall
frame and his neglige hair, is the counterfeit
presentment of Uncle Sam, save that his
| brooches are not made of the American flag,
nor are they fastened down upon his patent
leather boots by straps. Senator John w.
ID Iniel has the face of Edwin Booth, save
that the nose is trifle larger and the fore
head broader. His hair is brown, and his
eyes are gray. Senator Joe Brown looks
like Jewish patriarch or the typical Nor
mon, but his words show him to be neither.
He is up to the times and his gray head is
full of practical brains. Cul ON has often
been c-mpared with Abraham Lincoln, and
he is fully as tall and nearly as angular.
His resemblance, however, comes from his
characteristic gesture and expression, and
some of the stories he tells resemble those of
Old Abe. Senator Cush Davis looks like
Ben Butler, and the two have been taken
for one another Senator Dolph, of Oregon,
with his long sable-silver beard, would make
splendid representative Of Hamlet'S
father, and Senator George Edmunds could
make his fortune by sitting as a model to
painters for pictures of st. Jerome.
Blair, of New Hampshire, looks like Presi-
dent Hayes, and he sympathiseS with him in
his temperance principles. Aldrich, of
Rhode Island; Paddock, of Nebraska, ard
Butler o. South Carolina, resemble each
other and each has rosy face and a gray
moustache. Matt Ransom is handsome,
but he has no counterpart in history or
public life, and Chace, of Rhode Island,
though he is by no means a bad-looking
Quaker, could, in the words of the old Joke,
"be worshiped without breaking the com
mandments," for he is like no one in ''the
heaven above, and the earth beneath, or the
waters under the earth" Senator Colquitt's
smooth, statesmanlike face might have
stepped out of one of the old colonial por-
traits, and there is an cir connected with
Senator Farwell's pose which reminds one
m"ch of Garfield.
Speaking of boards, Senator Allison
wears full set of reddish brown whiszers,
into which few gray strands have crept.
They are stiff and straight, and about two
inches long Joe Blackburn's chief orna-
ment is fierce moustache Blair has hair
of sand and silver all over his face. Don
Cameron has a red mOustache Joe Brown
has long, white beard. Daniel is smooth
shaven, and Edmunds' whlskers are as
white as the cotton bursting from the pod.
EustiS, of Louisiana, has a full beard of
iron-gray. Frye sports gray moustache
II l. =
and Arthur L. German keeps his face as
smoothly shaven now as it was when he at
tended the sessions of the Senate as page.
Gray, of Delaware, has black moustache
Eugene Hale sports full beard. Isham G..
Harris wakes the ends of his long NOUS
tache, and he looks somewhat like a Chinese
mandarin, save that his eyes are not al
monds nor his complexion yellow. Mander-
son wears a brown imperial and John H.
Mitchell, of Oregon, has the longest, CLOS
siest, dearest brown beard in the Senate
Senator Morgan's moustache is white.
Senator Morrill, has side-whiskers, and
Henry E. Payne keeps his face as bare as
the crown of Senator Sawyers bald
head.
Senator Stanford has full beard, and he
could probably cash a $4,000 check for
every hair in il. Stewards full whiskers
are straw mixed with frost, and Stockbridge
has beard of dark gray. John Sherman's
whiskers are stiff and white. George Vest $
blonde moustache overhangs his mouth and
Senator Walthall has glossy brown hair
which curls as it touches his collar Matt
Quay has dark moustache. Pugh, of Ala
bama, has sandy whiskers, in which the
gray strands are beginning to creep. Sena-
tor Ingalls, shaves every day, and nurses
tenderly his little moustache and the bit of
hair upon his chin. Looking them all over
and sizing m their intellectual Strensrth the
amount of whiskers seem to have nothing to
do with their amount of ability, and had
Delilah shaved Sampson instead of cut
ting his hair he would probably never have
been conquered and blinded by the Philis-
tines
